“Why I wrote My Voice, My Right”
I wrote My Voice, My Right because I could no longer remain silent.
Because violence against women is not a distant problem — it is a global reality, happening every day, to women everywhere.
This song carries stories of pain, of powerlessness — but also of rising, of courage, of reclaiming one’s voice.
It belongs to the women who survived.
To the women who are still fighting.
To the women who are finding their voice again.
With this song, I want to give something back.
That is why 100% of all revenue goes to the Women’s Shelter of Tübingen, run by Frauen helfen Frauen e.V., an organisation that offers protection, counselling, and a new beginning to women affected by violence.
My Voice, My Right may be my voice —
but it is also yours.
A shared call for justice, humanity, and a life free from violence.
No one has the right to silence them.
My Voice, My Right

You try to hold me down Didn't you know But my spirit's free, I'll rise somehow You threw your words Like chains of stone But your grip is gone, I'm not alone
The bruise will fade, but courage stays In the darkness I see brighter days I'm more than skin, I'm more than bone The strength inside, I own my own My body, my choice, I'll scream it loud Every whisper, every shout You can't control what's burning bright My fire, my voice, my right
Your lies, they cut, but truth bleeds through A sister's hand, a friend so true We stand as one, we face the storm In every woman, power's born
No more silence, we break the chains From the ashes we reclaim our names We're warriors fierce, unbroken With every word, our war is spoken My body, my choice, I'll scream it loud Every whisper, every shout You can't control what's burning bright My fire, my voice, my right
My body, my choice, I'll scream it loud Every whisper, every shout You can't control what's burning bright My fire, my voice, my right
My Voice, My Right
